Johnny Nolan Robinson (born September 9, 1938) is a former American football safety. He played college football at Louisiana State University (LSU), where he was a member of the national championship-winning 1958 LSU Tigers football team.
Robinson was a master thief for the American Football League's Dallas Texans�€“Kansas City Chiefs, leading the league in interceptions with 10 in 1966 and 1970, and 58 for his career, a team record. He is considered by many contemporaries as the greatest ever to play the position and is credited with redefining the role of safety in modern professional football.{Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, Keith Jackson: Monday Night Football Sept. 1970 Chiefs vs. Colts.}
Robinson was a member of the Texans in their 1962 20–17 double-overtime victory over the two-time defending AFL Champion Houston Oilers in the longest professional football league championship game ever played. He played in Super Bowl I in 1967. In Super Bowl IV, the underdog Chiefs defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 23–7. Late in the first half, Robinson picked up a Minnesota fumble to help seal the Vikings’ fate. With Chiefs rushing to congratulate him, sitting on the turf, Robinson symbolically held one finger high to signify that the Chiefs were the best team in professional football. Robinson also had an interception off Joe Kapp in the fourth quarter to end the Vikings’ dream of Super Bowl victory.
Robinson was a six-time All-American Football League selection who played that Super Bowl game with three broken ribs. Five times the interception leader of the Chiefs, Robinson redefined the role of safety in Professional Football, according to the late Jack Kemp. Opposing quarterbacks soon learned to keep the ball away from him. A member of the All-time All-AFL Team and one of only twenty players who were in the American Football League for its entire ten-year existence, he was a member of a team that won three division titles, three league championships and a World Championship. The Chiefs were 35-1-1 when Robinson made an interception.
Did you count my picks in your picturesque poll?
Mules!
so neither I, Seven nor big could think up an avatar for ya--
Looks like the penalty, without which Denver would have been facing forth and long, gave Denver a second life on this drive.
I was watching some older games from the 60’s and the 80’s. They just didn’t used to call so many penalties. Anyone else feel like there’s too many penalties and they’re not letting them just play the game and that penalties too often decide the game?
I’d love to see Peyton beat the tar outa Brady, then get slapped silly in SB50!
Ah ha, well, just put up a picture of Tom Hanks for me...that’ll probably do...
I think there has been way too many penalties this year...

So far Payton seems to be playing under center more than usual.
Thanks.
I go by scoring and yardage stats. Works pretty well and a fun way to find out what to look for especially if like me you don’t know the teams very well. Kinda gets you into the game.
Both of these games look like they could go either way which seems to happen when one team has better scoring stats and the other team has better yardage rankings.
Zamboni - there I am...
BTW, I have no idea how to post a picture or put one in my Freeper profile...
Hey, look y'all-- I'm here... 
with Bones!
Hey, look again, I'm here... 
with Peyton's main squeeze!
Hey, Look! Look! I'm here... 
with Bendy!
Well, Jim, as you can see... 
that option just will not do--
BTW, I think the best part of this game is the NE pass offense (5th in the NFL) against the Denver pass defense (1st in the NFL).
Hey, has anyone figured out what Manning means by “Omaha” today? Apparently the meaning changes from game to game.
Hochuli is so so bad.
Looks like the refs are on the Broncos side today.
Instructions from the commish
True enough - especially if my wife sees this...
Which one is Hochuli?
